00:00:06What is tested by fire is not consumed.
00:00:10It's revealed.
00:00:14Declaring the fall of a kingdom, the noise was called truth, and the silence was death.
00:00:21So it was told.
00:00:32We have refused to let the whispers write our story.
00:00:37We have erased those words and filled them with hope and our real truth.
00:00:44There's something special about TNA Wrestle.
00:00:46We are a family.
00:00:47We all look out for each other.
00:00:48We all care for each other.
00:00:50I want this power.
00:00:54Tonight, the heavens bear witness.
00:00:57This is the altar where sacrifice meets revelation.
00:01:02And the past kneels before what was always meant to be.
00:01:11The lights burn not to eliminate, but to expose every doubt, every scar, every voice that dare to deny this
00:01:22moment.
00:01:23TNA, Whiteheart right now.
00:01:25This is as real as it gets!
00:01:28I'm right where I belong.
00:01:30Feeding this company into the next era.
00:01:42This was written before the first bell.
00:01:46Carved before the first bar.
00:01:48A path traced through fire, failure, and fate that could only lead here.
00:02:06The TNA on AMC era has begun!
00:02:23A match isuel!
00:02:36Here we are!

00:06:38TNA Wrestling and AMC have planted their flags at the Curtis Colwell Center in Dallas, Texas.
00:06:44This is the biggest night in TNA history.
00:06:48For over 23 years, this has been the home of total nonstop action.
00:07:01Hello, I am Elijah.
00:07:06It is TNA on AMC, and I have one question for everybody here tonight.
00:07:15Who wants to walk with Elijah?
00:07:29Welcome to the premiere of TNA Thursday Night Impact, live on AMC.
00:07:46And what an absolutely raucous wave to kick everything off on the AMC era.
00:07:54Machine Gun Kelly's guitarist, the guitar slayer, Justin Lyons, performing for the Hardys, plus TNA star BDE and social media
00:08:04influencer, J2 Chris.
00:08:06You're streaming this right now live all over social media.
00:08:10Welcome to Ringside.
00:08:11He's the drama king, Matthew Railroad.
00:08:13That is Matt Hardy.
00:08:14I'm Tom Henneman.
00:08:16Welcome to the Impact Zone.
00:08:18What an absolutely electric atmosphere here in Dallas, Texas for the first night of Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:08:26There is so much going down tonight.
00:08:28New Dallas in our main event.
00:08:29The conniving TNA World Champion, Brayton Scantarian, looks to defend against the battle-tested Mike Santana.
00:08:36TNA Hall of Famer, Bully Ray, joined us on commentary.
00:08:39But that's not the only title on the line, as the Knockouts World Tag Team title will be defended.
00:08:46The inspiration defend against the elegant friend.
00:08:49And also, we'll hear from our franchise players, TNA's Dynasty.
00:08:54The system is live on AMC tonight.
00:08:58Following is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one call.
00:09:02Introducing first, the team of Eliza and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Matt and Jeff, the Hardys.
00:09:21The Hardys, the living legends, set to team up with the notorious attraction, Eliza, against Order 4.
00:09:35Now, this Saturday at Genesis Live on pay-per-view at TNA Plus, right here in Dallas, Texas.
00:09:41Eliza, who you can see in the back of your screen on horseback.
00:09:45And that's Mustafa Ali, the leader of Order 4.
00:09:48This was back at Final Resolution in December, which you can watch back anytime on demand on our streaming platform,
00:09:55TNA Plus.
00:09:56This rivalry went to a whole other level as Eliza lassoed Ali and dragged him out of the building on
00:10:04horseback.
00:10:05Yeah, but it didn't end there because last week, Elijah continued to torment Ali in order for chasing them out
00:10:14of the arena once again.
00:10:16On horseback, an absolute travesty.
00:10:19And their opponent, a company from the ring.
00:10:21Oh, wait a minute.
00:10:22Ali diving into the ring, going after Elijah and the Hardys.
00:10:26This match is underway.
00:10:28This is total non-stop action.
00:10:31And you can't blame Ali and company for starting this one like this.
00:10:37Because of everything, the notorious attraction has thrown their way.
00:10:41Oh, the horse trap he's thrown towards Order 4.
00:10:46Led by the two-faced and politically savvy, Mustafa Ali, Order 4 believes actions have consequences.
00:10:53Ali has surrounded himself with loyal supporters like Jason Hodge and John Schuyler, his tag team partners.
00:11:01Well, that was a consequence there of what Elijah just did to the great hands.
00:11:07And now he's got his hands on Mustafa Ali.
00:11:10He wants Elijah, a vagabond thrifter who's entertaining millions all over the world.
00:11:18In and out of the ring with his guitar.
00:11:21He's a heavy-hitting wrestler and a cunning mind at that.
00:11:25And just annihilated Ali with that superplex.
00:11:29Out go the great hands, courtesy of the legendary Hardys.
00:11:34The daredevils from Cameron, North Carolina.
00:11:36Unlevel the playing field.
00:11:38Order 4 has got to reach.
00:11:51And we are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact Live on AMC in Dallas, Texas.
00:11:57This is our opening contest.
00:11:59The legendary Hardys, the TNA World Tag Team Champions teaming up with Elijah to take on Order 4 tonight at
00:12:07the Curtis Colwell Center.
00:12:09And Order 4, as they always do, using the numbers game to their advantage, they are a unit, they are
00:12:16a team, they are an army, and a force to be reckoned with.
00:12:19Boot right to the face there by Elijah.
00:12:21It's one-on-one with Mustafa Ali of Order 4 this Saturday right here in Dallas.
00:12:27Live on pay-per-view with TNA Plus and Genesis.
00:12:30Ali went face first into the buckle as Elijah was looking for a tag.
00:12:34Matt and Jeff Hardy were eliminated from the equation, but it looks like Ali just got eliminated from this planet.
00:12:42Ali, on multiple occasions, has delayed the recovery process of Elijah.
00:12:47That's what we're doing one-on-one at Genesis.
00:12:49Well, the stars are out tonight at ringside.
00:12:52We have Kiowa Gordon and Son McClarnon from the hit thriller Dark Wins, their special agent zero.
00:12:59Dark Wins returns for its fourth season Sunday, February 15th on AMC and AMC Plus.
00:13:04And also, R.J. Kyler, star of the upcoming vampire thriller Night Patrol, alongside CM Punk, Justin Long, and Freddie
00:13:12Gibbs.
00:13:12Catch R.J. Kyler.
00:13:13Night Patrol is in theaters nationwide tomorrow.
00:13:16Right now, the star of this magic is the charismatic enigma who's turned this thing on its head.
00:13:24A twist of fame by Jeff Hardy.
00:13:27Oh, there's Tasha Steeles of Order 4.
00:13:31The manipulative, the mastermind, Tasha Steeles.
00:13:35Oh, no!
00:13:36Uh-oh.
00:13:36The leader of Order 4, Mustafa Ali, in an early on who steals.
00:13:41Don't you do this!
00:13:42On a double twist of fame!
00:13:44How dare you!
00:13:47Splash by Hardy!
00:13:48Trying to put this thing away!
00:13:50Off Skyler and Hodge of Order 4, break up the pinfall.
00:13:54Justin and Nick of time.
00:13:57Using the Hardys almost as weapons to break that pinfall up.
00:14:01And now Order 4, gotta recruit.
00:14:04A tag's been made.
00:14:06Legal into the match is John Skyler.
00:14:08We mentioned it, Mustafa Ali of Order 4 and Elijah will go one-on-one this Saturday at Genesis, live
00:14:13on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus right here in Dallas.
00:14:16And that same night, the Hardys must defend their TNA World Tag Team titles against the creepy Vincent and Dutch
00:14:24known as the Righteous.
00:14:25The cult-like duo have had their sights set on the legendary Hardys.
00:14:31As Elijah now looks to turn this match back in his and the Hardys' favor.
00:14:37Being striked there by Elijah, his first match in over six months.
00:14:41And a twist of fate there by Matt Hardy.
00:14:44Look to the skies, though.
00:14:46There's Jeff Hardy!
00:14:47Spontag Bomb!
00:14:49One, two, three!
00:14:51The Hardys and Elijah beat Order 4!
00:14:55Here are your winners, the team of Elijah and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Matt and Jeff!
00:15:07The Hardys!
00:15:10Well, the first victory of the AMC era goes to the Goats, the Legends, the Hardys, and Elijah will win!
00:15:19Hold on a second, Special Agent Zero, Order 4, annihilates Elijah!
00:15:25And now the Hardys!
00:15:27That right there is the weapon of mass destruction of...
00:15:34Hold on a second, let's fix it in touch of the Righteous, the Hardys' opponents this Saturday at Genesis.
00:15:41They're backing off Agent Zero in Order 4.
00:15:44Ali was calling off Agent Zero.
00:15:49Oh, the Righteous!
00:15:51Again, who have said that they admire, they even love the Hardys.
00:15:55Look up to them, despite their actions.
00:16:03Oh, wait!
00:16:04Oh, my God!
00:16:05Jeff walks by touch!
00:16:10And now the intention more than clear from the Righteous!
00:16:16This is about more for the Tag Team Championship at Genesis.
00:16:21The Righteous want to destroy the Hardys and take their essence!
00:16:27The plan coming truly to fruition here.
00:16:30What is Vincent doing?
00:16:32Oh, you guys are kidding me!
00:16:33Oh, dear God, no!
00:16:34Oh, my God!
00:16:35Vincent driving the lock through the gauge opening in the ear of Jeff Hardy!
00:16:42And look at Dutch!
00:16:45Has Matt Hardy prone there?
00:16:48Jeff Hardy's restrained by that chain in the lock in his ear!
00:16:53Oh, and a small time bomb right from Jeff's face to his own brother, Matt!
00:17:04Man, this is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you!
00:17:11At Genesis, the Righteous will become new TNA World Tag Team Champions, man!
00:17:30A message clear as day!
00:17:35Will we have new World Tag Team Champions at Genesis?
00:17:41Well, still to come tonight in our main event, it is a milestone matchup for the TNA World Championship!
00:17:48Our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller, has more!
00:17:54Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, your TNA Wrestling World Champion, Frankie Kazarian.
00:18:01Frankie, in tonight's main event, you put the TNA World Title on the line against Mike Santana.
00:18:07Tell me, what does this moment mean to you on a night this big?
00:18:12Big?
00:18:15The biggest night in TNA history.
00:18:20My TNA World Title, Mike Santana, has the opportunity...
00:18:34What am I supposed to do?
00:18:36Shake your hand?
00:18:38Give you a big hug?
00:18:39Big sloppy kiss?
00:18:41I mean, you already show up tonight, like you run the place, go out and cut your little promo?
00:18:46If you have anything to say to me, anything, maybe it's just, thank you for the house.
00:19:03Thanks.
00:19:12AJ Styles said it himself earlier on tonight, bigger, better, bolder.
00:19:16That's what's in store.
00:19:18Can Mike Santana reclaim the TNA World Title from Kazarian?
00:19:22We'll find out tonight.
00:19:29There were no guarantees, no shortcuts, only an opportunity to be different.
00:19:41Speed, risk, innovation, fearless flights into the unknown.
00:19:50The X Division is the foundation of what TNA wrestling became.
00:19:55And soon, the world of professional wrestling would follow.
00:20:05Generations passed through the storm they created, and those became legends who defied the fall.
00:20:12When I was in the X Division, it was AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe.
00:20:18The X Division, it has never been a stepping stone.
00:20:21It's been the foundation, the spirit, the lifeblood of TNA wrestling.
00:20:26And I would say that the X Division is in phenomenal hands.
00:20:33The X Division, the signature division of TNA wrestling, founded by people like the man we saw,
00:20:40the phenomenal AJ Styles, currently led by the X Division champ, Leon Slater.
00:20:45It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits.

00:23:06Tell me, what does it mean to be a part of such a historic night,
00:23:10live here for the debut of TNA Wrestling on AMC?
00:23:17Yeah, we...
00:23:18Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, Gia.
00:23:20You're having a little Hollywood party down here, and I'm not invited.
00:23:24Me, the Hollywood hunk, Ryan Nemeth.
00:23:29You guys aren't the big stars, okay?
00:23:31You two pump chumps are on my show, okay?
00:23:34I'm the star.
00:23:34What are you looking at?
00:23:35What are you looking at, pretty boy?
00:23:37You look like you want to hit...
00:23:46What the hell is Ryan Nemeth doing?
00:23:48Oh, he got caught in the barricade.
00:23:51Oh, what?
00:23:51How dare you, sir?
00:23:53Zahn McLareneth just lit him up with a chop.
00:23:55You are a guest in our home.
00:23:59Zahn McLareneth's a guest of ours.
00:24:03Well, right now, I want to turn our attention to another matter that, well, was pretty devastating.
00:24:08This was last month after a steel cage matchup.
00:24:11There's our director of authority, Santina Morella.
00:24:14That is his own daughter, Ariana Grace, who was turning her back on her father with the help of her
00:24:21fiancé, Stax, from NXT.
00:24:24You don't know what the heck you're going on.
00:24:28You have a daughter?
00:24:29I hope you're nothing like him, but you probably are.
00:24:33I've said these.
00:24:35Broke her father's heart, and he hasn't been the same since.
00:24:52Please welcome the TNA director of authority, Santino Morella.
00:25:04It's great to see Santino Morella with a smile on his face.
00:25:09Wrestling fans for years know his trademark brand of entertainment.
00:25:13Yes, he's a bit of an oddball, but he has done a great job as our day-to-day operations
00:25:19manager here at TNA Wrestling, our director of authority.
00:25:23To your point, to see a smile is a rare thing, considering everything that's been in his personal life as
00:25:30of late.
00:25:30Hello, Dallas!
00:25:33Hello, Dallas!
00:25:36Is tonight a special night or what?
00:25:43Thursday night impact on AMC.
00:25:46Come on, doesn't get bigger than that.
00:25:51There's going to be a lot of new eyes on us, a lot of new expectations, a lot of pressure,
00:25:57but I know these guys can handle it because we fought tooth and nail to get here.
00:26:02Nothing's going to stop us, nothing's going to stop us, this is going to be the beginning of something incredible!
00:26:12Now, as you saw in the video, my mindset is a little bit off, I've been distracted as of late,
00:26:19I've been hurt, I've been angry, I've been confused.
00:26:25When your own flesh and blood looks you in the eyes and turns their back on you, it's not something
00:26:32you can shake off like the water on the duck.
00:26:37It's been bothering me, but I have decisions to make, I have a company to run.
00:26:41I've got to make the best decisions for the people in the back and for the audience.
00:26:46It's not a job I take lightly.
00:26:48And now that we're on AMC, I cannot afford to make a mistake.
00:26:54We cannot.
00:26:55So the board has decided that I can use a little bit of assistance.
00:27:00You see, my heart is not 100% here, and this is not the time to drop the ball.
00:27:06And at first, when I heard the news, I was a little bit in hesitation.
00:27:11But then, when I found out who it was, I was actually relieved because this person is very professional.
00:27:17They have lots of experience.
00:27:19And I believe they can positively contribute to the overall product and the brand.
00:27:24Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado.
00:27:43Oh my god!
00:27:47Whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:27:50Look who's made her way into the impact zone!
00:27:56Daria Ray!
00:27:58Pretty well, you and I haven't seen her in years!
00:28:01But we know just how effective and when she wants to be just how dangerous of a woman, she can
00:28:09be decisive, no doubt about it!
00:28:12Daria does that general manager experience, former tag team champion, a mixed martial artist,
00:28:19and has even contributed as an analyst for Invicta FC, the all-women's M&A promotion
00:28:27within Anthem Sports & Entertainment!
00:28:38Let me be the first to say, welcome to DNA!
00:28:48Thank you, all of you.
00:28:51Thank you, Santino.
00:28:53First things first, congratulations.
00:28:54Look at this.
00:28:57Look at this.
00:29:01I've been watching from afar over the years and you are one of the very pillars of this company.
00:29:09No, seriously.
00:29:13Building this foundation week in and week out through the good, the bad, the ugly,
00:29:18and somehow you managed to keep a smile on all their faces, mine included.
00:29:27And now here we are, standing in this ring,
00:29:43standing in front of one of the best crowds I've ever been in front of, right here in Dallas,
00:29:49here in Dallas can't see for the debut episode on our new network, AMC.
00:30:06And the irony of this is, the one thing this company does not need is you.
00:30:17You.
00:30:20No, no, we don't need your stupid little jokes.
00:30:23We don't need your little comedic relief.
00:30:25We need structure!
00:30:29Discipline!
00:30:33Professionalism.
00:30:33None of which you have the ability to give, do ya?
00:30:37You can't even keep your own family in order.
00:30:39Your own daughter doesn't respect you, and you want that too?
00:30:43Take it easy right now, you're tossing them up!
00:30:46Shut up!
00:30:48I'm talking!
00:30:53The facts are the facts, I've been in this position before, I ran locker rooms, I dealt with the egos,
00:31:00I understand television, and most importantly, I understand the fact that I can do your job better than you can.
00:31:10So that's exactly what I plan on doing.
00:31:12I'm not here for a popularity contest, so I suggest you stay the hell out of my way.
00:31:17And for you, in case you don't already know, my name is Daria Ray, and I'm the suit.
00:31:27So you shut up, when I'm talking.
00:31:39Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, one thing I almost forgot, I'm so sorry.
00:31:42As my first official order of business, I signed a new knockout to TNA.
00:31:52Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
00:32:09Oh my god.
00:32:13We haven't seen Elena Black in this company since early last year.

00:32:55And I never thought I'd say this about a friend.
00:32:58But I want you to kick his ass.
00:33:02I held this company down as long as I could.
00:33:05Now it's your turn.

00:49:55Accompanied by her tag team partner Sia Brookside, Lang League is one of the most inspiring stories
00:50:00of pro wrestling eight years ago in her home country of china we took part in triumph earned
00:50:05the opportunity to transition from mma to professional wrestling she moved to america
00:50:10had to learn english and a whole new culture in the midst of embracing this new craft laying
00:50:16lee's hard work paid off two months ago she captured the tna knockouts world title at wwe's
00:50:22nxt gold rush event ladies and gentlemen due to an international visa crisis danny luna
00:50:29is not going to be able to compete at genesis however lady lee has committed herself to be a
00:50:38fighting champion and has signed a contract to an open challenge on saturday at genesis
00:51:11so
00:51:26Earlier tonight, we saw the team of Zarya and Soruka, Soruka from NXT watching during the TNA Knockouts World Tag
00:51:35Team Championship match.
00:51:36So, I guess the question is now, who's taking up Langley on the Open Challenge for Genesis?
00:51:44They had their eyes on all kinds of TNA Championship gold, it seems.
00:51:50But to your point, which one of these two incredible athletes is out here to answer the Open Challenge?
00:52:06Hey, TNA.
00:52:13Now, we were originally in town to scope out the competition for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles.
00:52:22However, when I heard about this Open Challenge, I mean, I just could not resist.
00:52:27I mean, this is an incredible opportunity for all of women's professional wrestling.
00:52:32And, I mean, it would feel pretty damn good to bring gold back home again.
00:52:39Now, I know this isn't going to be an easy competition.
00:52:43You are a warrior in every aspect.
00:52:47However, the thing about Zeruka is we've got a warrior of our own.
00:52:58Which is why Zarya should answer this Open Challenge?
00:53:04Because there is no one who is more deserving than you.
00:53:11So, you are a warrior of our own.
00:53:18fentanyl!
00:53:20Seriously!
00:53:29Get out of here!
00:53:32Get out of here!
00:53:34Get out of here!
00:53:36Get out!
00:53:38well that didn't take much convincing she has signed on the dotted line it looks like it's
00:53:45going down zaria face to face with the knockouts world champion lei ying lee genesis they go one
00:53:55on one genesis is this saturday right here in dallas texas live on pay-per-view and tna plus
00:54:03the tna knockouts world championship is on the line but the tna world titles at stake
00:54:09in our main event with a legacy built on the backs of legends
00:54:21the tna wrestling world championship it's not just a championship it's a legacy
00:54:33the tna world title means everything here that means you're the guy here this championship
00:54:37carries the weight of responsibility of not only representing tna wrestling but protecting it
00:54:44anyone that says that they don't want to be the world champion is either a liar or not in this
00:54:50business for the right reasons you do not hold this championship to be celebrated you carry it
00:54:56to be tested i did not come to tna to be good at wrestling i came to tna become world
00:55:04champion
00:55:05and become the best damn wrestler ever i'm on my way
00:55:15it is a living testament that belief endures that the legacy demands sacrifice and that only
00:55:23those willing to stand in the fires can be the tna wrestling world champion
00:55:29so

01:13:24take another look at this we gotta look at this santana ready for the rolling buck 50 castle it coming
01:13:31and absolutely annihilates santana with the backstabber that is the wiley veteran that is the world

01:13:45wwe hall of famer the two-time tna world champion bully ray right now frankie kazarian looking to bully
01:13:52mike santana boy i don't think that's a good strategy santana's not having any of it right now
01:13:59sometimes that just fires a guy up and if you look at my i can look right in santana's eyes
01:14:03right now
01:14:04and i can tell you he ain't having any of it he's feeding off of it
01:14:12let's say it's hannah absorb right back up onto his feet
01:14:18santana the hot-blooded for equal from the bronze both these men ran into aj styles earlier on tonight
01:14:26styles said he couldn't recognize the man and frankie kazarian all those years ago right here in tna
01:14:32aj styles told mike santana to win back the tna world title become the standard of tna once again
01:14:44good old-fashioned job boys just absorbing that kick from kaz and firing back there is no quit in mike
01:14:52santana at santana's first climb to the championship he did it for his heritage he did it for tna wrestling
01:15:00he did it for his daughter ariana his own personal journey to sobriety helped fuel him to that moment
01:15:07that bound for glory back in october oh super kick mike santana has said that tonight tonight is about
01:15:15him tonight is about 50. is that enough cover stacks up the champion and a kick out like a super
01:15:24super gun
01:15:25cutter kazarian didn't have an answer with a backstabber like he didn't moments ago
01:15:30that was amazing we got to take another look back at this missed it before had it spotted this time
01:15:36and
01:15:36perfect rolling buck 50. that's what he calls it the rolling buck 50. that's it
01:15:42but not enough to put the world champion away
01:15:46there's one thing we know about frankie kazarian bully he's grizzled self-centered and conniving
01:15:52over 30 years in this business he'll do whatever it takes to hold on to the title tonight
